PACK RULE #8: NEVER LIE TO YOUR MATE.

I broke that rule the day I showed up on her doorstep.

I’m sworn to protect my kind from any kind of threat.

As a human, she thought I was there on friendly business.

Didn’t know I meant to take down her shifter boss.

I didn’t know she’d flip my world upside down.

One whiff of her scent, and I was lost. No-found.

I couldn’t leave without her. So, I spent the night. Made her fall for me.

But she doesn’t know what I am. What I’ve done.

I’m not just a ranch hand-I’m a shifter enforcer.

The clock is ticking before I have to finish the job.

I must win my mate’s heart and claim her before the lies catch up to me.

Before she finds out what I am and what I have done.

Or what I will do to keep her safe.

And mine.
